New earphones

For some time now I have been looking for a replacement for the earphones that I lost together with my last Ipod. I forgot them on a flight out from Beijing. Lucky someone.

The old pair I had was a pair of Shure SCL3-K I was happy with the sound but not happy with the sound transplanting in the cable every time you moved your head. Neither was the ear fit very good with the earphones protruding from the ear-canal. So sleeping on a plane with these baby's resulted in a painful awakening where basically the earphones made marks in the inner eardrum. Further I wanted earphones that could compare with my home rig. At home I use a set of Sennheiser 650 when the rest is sleeping.

So searching for a new set earphones that would fit the bill wasn't easy. Until I got a recommendation from a friend to try out the Westone UM2's. I tried them for a weekend and YES, I liked them. I found the sound very balanced and the dual drivers worked very well.

Trying to find a reseller that carried these plugs in Sweden wasn't easy so I again turned my browser to Google and found a few places to order from. Not trusting just any one with my credit card details; I turned to my friends to check from where they ordered their plugs. The response was unanimous. Order from earphonesolutions.com. Said and done.

It took the guys at earphonesolutions like 5 days to get me the plugs delivered to my door in Sweden! That is just fantastic.

So now I'm breaking them in and so far they full fill all my expectations. So far they play really good. The sound is very well balanced and the dual driver helps.
